This song was sent to me today and I thought I would share it. The name of the song is "I'm Not Who I Was" off the Don't Get Comfortable album by an artist named Brandon Heath. He gives a background and comments about the song at this link:

I'm Not Who I Was

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
I used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt side too
But I'm not who I was

I found my way around
To forgiving you
Some time ago
But I never got to tell you so

I found us in a photograph
I saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was
You were there, you were right above me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who I was

When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you

I reckon it's a funny thing
I figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who I was
I write about love and such
Maybe 'cause I want it so much
I'm not who I was

I was thinking maybe I
I should let you know
I am not the same
But I never did forget your name
Hello

Well the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about
I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was

It has been an interesting day today...there has been plenty to think about and it has been emotionally trying. It is a day that is supposed to be marked as "happy", but it doesn't feel that way, not this year. What do I hope for in the time that follows this day? I hope for healing, acceptance, understanding, redemption, the mending of souls. "The thing I find most amazing in amazing grace is the chance to give it out. Maybe that's what love is all about."

All my love,
B
